In this YouTube video, TT Does It All demonstrates her signature "Sexy Signature Swoop" (SSS) leave‑out sew‑in from start to finish on a client who brought long extensions. She explains the minimum natural hair length needed (1.5–2 inches) and why she cuts the bangs to achieve the layered look. The workflow is broken down into roughly 45 minutes of braiding, 45 minutes of sewing, and the remaining time for styling. TT discusses using a net on the lower back for flexible sewing, anchoring braids, and her braid pattern (referencing a previous video). She highlights product choices such as KeraCare between braids and a BaByliss 2‑inch flat iron that reaches 450°F, noting she curls the leave‑out without pre‑straightening and applies heat differently to extensions versus natural hair. Client logistics are covered, including the client’s tight schedule for a graduation, the use of a fellow braider Capricia when TT works in Kansas City, and the overall fast, confident service. Throughout, TT emphasizes her enthusiasm for the SSS style, encourages viewer interaction, and promotes her social media channels.

Hey everyone, it's your girl TT Does It All, and this is a start to finish and how I got to this look. My client did bring her own extensions. If she watches this video, hopefully she'll go ahead and comment and drop where she got the hair from. I do not remember, I'm sorry. But yeah, this is a start to finish on my sexy signature swoop sew-in, which is a leave-out sew-in to get the look that I like the best. You do not have to have extra long hair to achieve this look. I would say you need to have at least, at least an inch and a half to 2 inches of hair, and you can have the same exact look as her. Her extensions are pretty long, and I did cut the bang to achieve the layered look in that bang. So that is something that you have to think about if you want to have this look. For my SSS IM, I require people to have me cut that bang. It will look the same when I curl it without me cutting it. However, you may not be able to achieve that same curl technique that I use without cutting the bangs. So for my clients, I recommend that it be cut because it's a lot easier for them to curl it back the way it is when they leave me. Um, I am of course using my KeraCare between each braid, and I'm not braiding in any hair, only on my anchor braids, which I have a previous video on my braid pattern for this sew-in. Um, so yeah, it takes me about 45 minutes to braid, 45 minutes to sew it in, and the rest of the time is styling. This particular client was highly nervous because she lived about an hour and a half away and her graduation from college was today. So she's like, oh my God, it's— my appointment's at 8, but I just need to make sure that I am back home before— what was it, like 1:30 or 2:30? And obviously she made it on time. Um, I'm pretty fast, so— and I've also been doing this a while, so she's in good hands. And her outcome was so pretty, but I kept kind of messing with her throughout the sewing, like, oh my God, girl, it's 8:15, what are we gonna do? Girl, you gonna miss it. You know, I'm just like messing with her because I always mess with my clients. When they give me a hard time, I give them a hard time, but it's all love. Um, I did use a net for her. I use a net for most of my clients. If they don't want one, I still using it across the bottom of the back half just because it allows me to sew single. It allows me to sew wherever I want to. And with this braid pattern, I just really want to sew onto a net back there. On the top, it's not really important, but it allows me to just kind of freehandedly sew anywhere I need to. So I'm cutting the net off, stitched it all around. I have videos of all of this, but if you are new to my channel, I have a braider and her name is Capricia, and I sometimes will braid the first client and she will braid the rest when I'm in Kansas City. I live in St. Louis and I work in Kansas City sometimes. When I'm there, I have a lot of people So she will braid for me and I will sew, and we'll just kind of have a rotation like that. Excuse me. So, um, that is my next client in the other chair. You see, I recorded the entire day's work if I remember correctly, so you'll probably see a video of the next client coming up pretty soon. Um, I recorded, yeah, everybody. I think it was 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, and 12 o'clock, and I recorded every single one of them. So yeah, that video will be coming up soon, but this video particular is about my 8 AM client and it's about the SSS. And again, you guys, this is not a tutorial, it's just a start to finish. If you remember, I usually sew and then after I sew the first bundle, I'll curl it. But for this client, since she was in a rush, I kind of didn't want to worry her, so I went ahead and sewed in everything and let her see the time and see that we had perfect amount of time to style her hair. So, um, I hope you all enjoy this video. Again, this is my favorite sew-in, so drop a comment and let me know if you like it. Um, you can do this look with the closure, but it's just not the same effect as if you do a leave-out. I, I love it better with the leave-out. So let me know what you guys think. All the information needed is in the description. So I will see you later. Thanks for tuning in, and thumbs up this video if you like it. If you haven't already, make sure you subscribe, and I do read every single one of my client client— or I'm sorry, I read every single one of my comments. So drop a comment and let me know what you think. Oh yeah, you guys, this is the BaByliss 2-inch flat iron. Everyone's gonna ask what flat iron is that. So yeah, I'll kind of slow it down so you can see, but thanks for watching, y'all. See you later. Okay, I'm back. I lied. So as you all know, with this flat iron, the reason why I love it so much is it goes up to 450 degrees and you do not have to straighten the hair before you you curl it. If you notice, her hair is in its natural state and I am still just curling it and the curls are coming out so pretty. So yeah, okay, like I think maybe I'm really out this time. Maybe, maybe not. Okay, let me keep talking because the video's still got a little bit to go. But, um, let's see, I'm almost done. Uh, some people will flat iron their leave-out first and then curl everything together. I like to give the leave-out its own special attention because extensions can handle higher heat that I would not necessarily put on my client or my own natural hair. So it is important for me personally to do their leave-out last. Um, I run the heat over it a lot faster than I would on the extensions. Um, and yeah, so now I'm about to straighten her leave-out. Again, you all know she has really, really long hair. I kind of want to run one good press over it And then I will use my mini Babyliss to do the root of her hair. And, um, I just love it. I love my SSS so much, y'all. Like, I'm pretty sure y'all know that by now if you've gotten this far in the video. I really, really love it. So hopefully you guys love it too. Drop a comment, let me know what you think. I know you guys hate leave-outs probably and just would prefer some some, uh, closure or something. But this is like the original all-time favorite sew-in, and no one would ever know this is not her hair because it's so seamless. But yeah, hopefully you like it. Oh, and then I'm also going to show me kind of cutting it. My body may be in the way a little bit, but I'm gonna trim her, her, um, her bang a little bit just to give it the volume that I like and to also make it easier for her to re-curl it when she gets tone. Y'all better not drop a comment about my hair. Y'all can say what y'all want to, it's okay. My hair is a hot mess, but as long as my client is pretty, that's what matters, right? Right. Okay, but I do cut below her hair. I cut it and I just kind of make it flow with where her hair is. So I start that first layer where her hair stops, and then I just kind of go down from there. And, um, yeah, I love it. I love my SSS. I can't say it enough. So, all right, I'm done talking. Thank y'all for watching. Make sure y'all check me out on my Snapchat.
